I can see this turning into a giant bowl of spaghetti. How in the world are people supposed to understand how all these repositories are related to each other?

Yes, it will turn into a giant bowl of spaghetti - that's the whole point of "Distributed" version control systems.

So: don't bother about this. There is certainly going to be a lot of repository that you don't know about, just as you didn't know about patches that may have circulated before. If people want you to know about a clone, they have to tell you - one way of doing that is to attach its link to a tracker issue.

The Roundup interface is getting extraordinarily messy.

So what is your constructive proposal?

Regards, Martin
